How to use

Insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP port on your network device while the port is powered according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Connect an LC duplex multimode fiber patch cable to the transceiver's optical ports, ensuring correct TX/RX alignment. After physical installation, verify link status and configure network settings on the connected devices as needed. For stable operation, ensure the fiber type and cable grade match the module’s multimode requirements and that connectors are clean and undamaged.

Recommendations

Operate the transceiver within the host device’s specified temperature and power ranges, use appropriate multimode fiber (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4 as applicable) for the desired link distance, and follow standard fiber handling and cleaning procedures to maintain signal quality and minimize downtime.
